Can Ivrea Shampoo 30 ml remove head lice and eggs in a single wash?

Asked by Female, 19 · 3 days ago

Ivrea Shampoo kills live head lice, but one wash usually does not remove all eggs. A second treatment after 7–10 days, along with combing and cleaning bedding, towels, and hair accessories, is recommended to fully eliminate lice and prevent reinfestation.

Ivrea Shampoo containing 0.5% Ivermectin can effectively kill head lice and reduce live eggs, but a single wash may not completely clear all eggs.

🩺 Effectiveness for Head Lice and Eggs

  • Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing lice, making it effective against active lice infestations.
  • It may not fully eliminate all eggs (nits) in one wash because eggs are more resistant; a second treatment after about 7–10 days is often recommended to catch any newly hatched lice.
  • Complete clearance usually requires following the product instructions carefully and possibly repeating the treatment.

🩺 Recommendations

  • Use the shampoo exactly as directed by a doctor or the product leaflet.
  • Comb hair with a fine-toothed nit comb after treatment to remove dead lice and eggs.
  • Avoid sharing combs, hats, or pillows to prevent reinfestation.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

  • If lice persist after two treatments or if scalp irritation worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and alternative treatments.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and proper management of head lice.
